Indianapolis Public Schools is proud to be home to two high schools ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.

Broad Ripple Magnet High School for the Arts and Humanities (Ranked 36th in Indiana, 1st in IPS) and Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet High School (Ranked 43rd in Indiana, 2nd in IPS) are included in the Best High Schools online report, released May 8. In partnership with the American Institutes for Research, U.S. News determined the rankings by analyzing how well students performed on state assessments and their preparedness for college based on success in Advanced Placement courses.

The IPS schools earned a Bronze rating. They were among 4,850 schools named top performers. 379 of these schools were in Indiana.

Welcome to the Broad Ripple High School Web Site. For those of you new to our site we have attempted to offer you an overview of our institution. For families already present at BRHS, you will find vital information concerning the daily operation of the school.

Broad Ripple has been a valuable and important component in the Indianapolis Public School System and a landmark on the northside of Indianapolis since 1886. Our graduates number in the thousands, many of whom have assumed very prominent positions in the city and across the state. We are even nationally known because of the success of a 1965 graduate - Mr. David Letterman.

BRHS - Broader, Richer, Human Service. This acronym symbolizes the spirit of the staff, the students, and the parents of our school. Broad Ripple is a learning place, which offers an education for a diverse population. Broad Ripple is a school committed to excellence in its students and staff: a school where students will experience success and the appropriate preparation to become productive and responsive citizens.

Our mission is to serve our students by guiding and inspiring them to develop their artistic and academic gifts and discover their full potential for success in a diverse and competitive society, through a foundation based on a creative study of all arts and humanities

Announcements for Monday, June 4, 2012


There will be middle school football practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.  Repeat, middle school football practice today, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.

Hey, Rockets!  Are you interested in being a part of the 'Spirit of Broad Ripple' Marching Band, but don't know how to play an instrument?  Why not join the Color Guard, the dance-oriented group that swings and twirls flags and other props during marching shows?  Auditions for Color Guard are TODAY at 4pm in the Band Room.  No previous experience needed to try out!

Seniors - if you didn't get a statement in the Senior meeting please check with the finance office.  Some accounts had the wrong grade level and didn't print out with the Senior list.  Just because you didn't get a statement today doesn't mean that you don't owe.  Please double check so you aren't surprised in June!

Here are a couple of other reminders for seniors – boys in dark suits, white shirts, and dark ties; ladies in black closed toed shoes, heels no higher than 2 inches.  If your dress has a collar, it must be black or white.  Your dress may NOT show beneath your gown.  Would hate to see you not be able to walk because you didn’t have the appropriate attire, gang….

The RSC will be closed for the remainder of the year.  Repeat, the RSC is now closed.

Any boy grades 6-11 interested in playing baseball this summer should sign up on Coach Hannan's office wall. We will have practice Monday after school at Broad Ripple Park.
 
Any student 8-11 interested in playing soccer next fall should sign-up on Mr. Hannan's office wall. If there is enough interest by girls we may have a girls’ team this fall.

If you have not signed up for summer school, it is not too late! Stop by and see your counselor today for a registration form and catch up on classes that you need for graduation requirements.
